So, it saddens me a bit that @pixelfed encourages the use of a #photofilter.
Reality has become hard to distinguish from rubbish, these days on Ye olde Internetz.
I'm not against using a filter perse,but it should be clear that it has been used. Just as you are encouraged to mention use of #AI.
I like reading a novel, but it has to be clear it's fiction. Do you see the similarity?
I like seeing what you really see. Not what an app makes of it.
The first photo above has a #Pixelfed "1984" filter Yes,. It is all a bit Orwellian. AIN'T IT?
(Which one is the "real" one?)
Go #Vegan btw
